IMPROVEMENT IN HEAT-RADIATORS FOR COOKlNG-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 151,336, dated May 56,1674; application filed April 25, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known, that 1, PETER Anans, of Burlington, in the county ofBurlington and State of New Jersey, have invented a certain new anduseful Radiator for Cooking Stoves and Ranges; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itpertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which form part of this specification, in which the figure isa perspective of a stove, part of the front and top being broken away toexhibit my improvements.

My invention has for its object to utilize the ordinary wastc-heat ofkitchen stoves and ranges by employing the same for heating otherapartments.

My invention consists in the employment of boxes or chambers within thefireplace of a kitchen, or cooking stove or range, so arranged as toreceive air from outside the stove, and, after heating the same, causeit to be transmitted by suitable pipes or conveyors to the room above,or to another apartment.

In the accompanying drawing, which rep resents acooking-stove with myimprovements applied, A is the stove, and B the fireplace; D and D areboxes placed in the ends of said fire-place; and E, a similar box orcompartment, placed in the back thereof. (1, d, and e are partitions,shelves, or diaphragms located within the several compartments, anddesigned to cause the air entering through the inlets d and c totraverse the boxes back and forth, so as to be thoroughly heated beforemaking its exit through the openings (1 and 0 F F represent pipes orconductors for conveying the heated air from the boxes D, D, and E tothe drums or pipes G, by which it is tansmittcd to the room above.

The boxes D, D, and E may be made of metal or of fire-brick, and may beformed in one piece or in sections. If desired, the three boxes may beall united, so as to make but one, but I prefer to form them separately.

The advantage of the foregoing improve ments is obvious. The waste heat,which now is permitted to go up the chimney, can be utilized and appliedto the heating of the room above, an economical result that will behighly appreciated, particularly bythe poor.

The simplicity of the construction and application is another advantage,permitting the improvements to be adapted with but slight difficulty andlittle expense.

\Vhat I claim as my invention is In combination with a cooking stove orrange, the air-heating boxes D, D, and E, having partitions d, d, and c,inlet and outlet openings (1 d, 0 c and communicating by means of pipesF with drums G, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this18th day of April, 1874.

PETER ADAMS.
